Edit Word currency question

[barnaby400]

We are in the UK so our QCURSYM is a £.

We are trying to write some reports for a US branch and in the edit words the format ' $0. ' is not working as a floating currency symbol because QCURSYM is £.

Does anyone know of a way of getting a $ floating edit word symbol on a UK system without changing QCURSYM please?

I tried changing the currency symbol in the H spec as a long shot but it didn't work, not that I expected it to

If in output specs, use an edit code and specify '$' in cols 53-55.


If in calc specs, try
Output = '$' + editc(Input,'J')

          Output = %editc(input: 'J' : '$');

The third parameter to %editc is the currency symbol. If it's the special value *CURSYM, it defaults to QCURSYM. If it's omitted, you get no currency symbol.

Feles mala! Cur cista non uteris? Stramentum novum in ea posui!

Thanks both.

I will pass on your info to the person doing it on Monday when he returns.
